The issue also does happen in TwentyFifteen.
The issue is because in the bbPress default theme package, there is a template called content-search.php. In some newer themes there is also a template of the same name. And since the bbPress templates don’t necessarily need to be in a bbPress folder, the bbPress plugin is choosing the template from your theme before the template that is actually in bbPress.
Copy content-search.php from the bbPress plugin templates and place it in a child theme in a folder called bbpress. This fixed the issue you are getting in a free version of your currently active theme.

Also just created a trac ticket for this issue.

Folks, I’m new to bbPress, but I’m setting it up for a client’s membership site. They want a general forum for their members, where any member can post at any time (in other words, no moderation before posting).
Then they want a more-restrictive forum, where members can create drafts which must be approved before they are published.
I’ve tested bbP with bbPress Moderation by Ian Stanley, and it works in general — but requiring all posts to be moderated. I’m currently working with FV bbPress Tweaks, which appears to be brand new, but also seems to work and has a few more features.
However, I’m not seeing anything that allows settings for individual forums. Seems like the sort of thing people would want.
This all-or-nothing approach seems baffling to me, so I’m hoping that I’ve missed something obvious. Any relief here?
I can’t immediately see the issue.
If you have tried with just twentyfifteen and bbpress, then not sure how to progress next.
@robkk – any ideas?
@rda5009
Thanks for sharing that you found a plugin that does this kind feature. I am sure it will be really useful to a ton of other users that use Group Forums using bbPress and BuddyPress.
@scootsafe
Since you enabled threaded replies, which has an issue with some mobile responsive styles because how they are by default. Try this custom CSS, or disable threaded replies and see if your forums have a better layout, though I am not sure how the mycred badges will react.
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-author a.bbp-author-name {
display: block !important;
}
bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes
It could be a theme or plugin issue
Plugins
Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.
Themes
If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.
Then come back
besides all the wonderful and appreciated help here on the bbpress forums, what do you do with bbpress?
I would love to see more websites showcased and since you @robkk are leading the herd now I am in need to see the best bbpress forums online from you, I bet you made a few by now.
I personally get a lot of inspiration looking at other forums and see how people make the code their own but can not find a descent showcase anywhere.
Looking forward to be amazed

Hi everyone,
First I would like to say thanks to bbpress creator, its amazing.
However, Im facing some problem in the mobile. The name is not beneath the cover image. it looks very weird. Despite removing mycred rank logo, it remain the same thing.
Can someone help?
Hi, our worpress site uses twenty fifteen theme and we want to add a forum to it. I am wondering if bbpress would be a good idea and will fit in the main content div without any problems. I read somewhere that bbpress has a strnage bahviour using this theme due to the big sidebar. Any experiences? Should we go with bbpress if we use this theme or better a separate forum script like phpbb? The site is this one Bellefem adelgazar. Thanks!!
My bad it is called the (bbPress) login widget.
I got confused of this custom widget I created that is a fork of the same code.
Something like this might work. In the post views plugin you will need to edit how it displays so it does not show “views” at the end of the number. If you do not want to mess with anymore files, or change the template view, just use the function in this post I created in this kind of similar topic.

Also make sure to surround your code with the backticks from the code button in the toolbar.

I told them this forum is starting point to “sell” bbPress to public. But they think not so.
Dont worry about Plugin Organizer. I use it on all websites, even those with only few pages. Just install it and enjoy.
And I wish this forum did a bit more to sell BBPress, where are the showcases, the paid for professionals and why is this theme still sooooo boring.
Why not integrate more with Buddypress forums, as I can not believe people only using BBPress on its own, I want a better profile.
Why not have the option to test plugins on this site with live demos.
Why not have a clear donation button on your site, or do anything to receive funds to spend time improving the BB line.
Perhaps charge people 1 euro to download BBPress first time then free for life through account, perhaps the free model gives more awareness but BBPress is good enough to compete with expensive forum software.
Why not compete with codecanyon and offer premium plugins that work without conflicts.
Why not hire me as vice president of BBCorp and pay me lots, I accept jellybeans as currency.
Anyway, as mentioned before loving BBPress.
P.H.
Will look at that plugin, sounds good if it does not create conflicts with my custom theme.
Had to google Bootstrap
I am almost ready with mobile version of my theme, actually not too bad to do with minimal css coding.
Will have a look at that bootstrap thingy, perhaps I can copy and paste my way to integration, give me a few years and it will be done…lol
I guess Php and Java should become easier over time for most, I get how some hooks work and understand the logic of a certain line of code, but do not know to write a line of Php or Java if my live depended on it, start to panic when databases are mentioned..lol
More like a blind guy trying to finish a puzzle, keep banging pieces together until they stuck.
But I must say that peoples reaction give me a warm gooey feeling inside, and should show everyone here that BBPress can be whatever you want it to be, if I can do it so can you…
P.H.
Plugin Organizer plugin is good to prevent CSS, JS files to be called on bbPress forum pages, if they dont belong there.
And the WordPress/BBPress combo is actually quite easy to play with, took me a while (2 years almost) to understand the code but now like a puzzle that is relatively easy to manipulate.
Only big issue I always find is the massive amounts of javascript and css queries, trying soon to combine a bit more.
So when I go to my members page all that I am seeing is my friends not the 7 people that have created an account. So that I can send them friend request.
Thank You Brian
Welcome to WordPress 4.5.2
I am using bbPress is forum software with a twist from the creators of WordPress.
Version 2.5.9 |
BuddyPress helps you build any type of community website using WordPress, with member profiles, activity streams, user groups, messaging, and more.
Version 2.5.3
BuddyPress Activity Plus A Facebook-style media sharing improvement for the activity box.
Version 1.6.4
Thanks Robkk, but I’m still struggling a little. Are you able to offer any further guidance to help me neaten things up.
I’ve changed my CSS to:
li.bbp-forum-info,
li.bbp-topic-title {
float: left;
text-align: left;
width: 40%;
}
li.bbp-forum-topic-count,
li.bbp-topic-voice-count,
li.bbp-topic-views-count,
li.bbp-topic-reply-count {
float: left;
text-align: center;
width: 8%;
}
li.bbp-topic-freshness {
text-align: center;
float: left;
width: 18%;
}
And I’ve created a loop-topics.php in my child theme which I’ve edited as:
<li class=”bbp-header”>
<ul class=”forum-titles”>
<li class=”bbp-topic-title”><?php _e( ‘Topic’, ‘bbpress’ ); ?>
<li class=”bbp-topic-reply-count”><?php bbp_show_lead_topic() ? _e( ‘Replies’, ‘bbpress’ ) : _e( ‘Posts’, ‘bbpress’ ); ?>
<li class=”bbp-topic-views-count”><?php _e( ‘Views’, ‘bbpress’ ); ?>
<?php if(function_exists(‘the_views’)) { the_views(); } ?>
<li class=”bbp-topic-voice-count”><?php _e( ‘Voices’, ‘bbpress’ ); ?>
<li class=”bbp-topic-freshness”><?php _e( ‘Freshness’, ‘bbpress’ ); ?>
I’ve also edited loop-single-topic.php in my child theme (to get views on topics, rather than the forum as a whole), which I’ve edited as (from about line 86):
<li class=”bbp-topic-reply-count”><?php bbp_show_lead_topic() ? bbp_topic_reply_count() : bbp_topic_post_count(); ?>
<li class=”bbp-topic-views-count”>
<?php _e( ‘Views’, ‘bbpress’ ); ?>
<?php if(function_exists(‘the_views’)) { the_views(); } ?>
<li class=”bbp-topic-voice-count”><?php bbp_topic_voice_count(); ?>
Yeah I need to look into that, tried a few years ago but really did not understand how to, even with lots of tutorials.
I do actually have a test site where I keep most of my clients sites during production, url is http://www.my-latest.com and I should use it more…lol
Really not a webdeveloper by trade, just a hobby and being anal about controlling everything myself.
onlijn.com is more of a fun project that had no time allocated for a while, but I am getting to understand BBPress better every time I use it.
Now just completed a BBPress forum at seedism.nl and very happy with the outcome once again.

Ofcourse it is a lot easier now that BBPress and Buddypress have added some core functions that took a lot of hacking a few years ago.
Still loving BBPress and convinced it is the better option for forums.
Peace
Peter
Hi,
Thanks for your reply, the short code was used for one “logout” plugin and it was later removed due to compatibility issue with my theme.
Can you please tell me, where I get this “bbPress profile widget ” ?
Await your reply.
Regards,
Ajit
Okay, now I’m very confused. It appears to be the WP Spamshield plug-in–but I have another install with both bbPress and Spamshield and it works fine (which is why I didn’t bother testing it at first).
I’ll check the support page for the plug-in.
For those who have added the code from palmdoc’s instructions here, you’ll also likely need to change user role permissions so that they can upload inline images to all topics. Solution is here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/cant-upload-media-in-bbpress/#post-175834
So after updates with BBPress and Buddypress my site is currently broken but will have it up and running soon again with a much improved code.
Hi I have deactivated all plugins except the BBpress plugins
still the same problem just comes back with the last item on the blog.
have also changed the theme to twentyfifteen with all plugins disabled except BBpress.
Same problem!!!
